The arguments passed to the thread function must be allocated on
the heap, rather than the stack, since it is possible for the
spawning thread to continue before the new thread runs at all.
In such a case, it is possible that the area of stack where the
thread args were stored is overwritten.
* src/util/threads-pthread.c, src/util/threads-win32.c: Allocate
thread arguments on the heap
To allow messages from different threads to be untangled,
include an integer thread identifier in log messages.
* src/util/logging.c: Include thread ID
* src/util/threads.h, src/util/threads.h, src/util/threads-pthread.c:
Add new virThreadSelfID() function
* configure.ac: Check for sys/syscall.h
The util/threads.c/h code already has APIs for mutexes,
condition variables and thread locals. This commit adds
in code for actually creating threads.
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export new symbols
* src/util/threads.h: Define APIs virThreadCreate, virThreadSelf,
virThreadIsSelf and virThreadJoin
* src/util/threads-win32.c, src/util/threads-win32.h: Win32
impl of threads
* src/util/threads-pthread.c, src/util/threads-pthread.h: POSIX
impl of threads
This patch adds recursive locks necessary due to the processing of
network filter XML that can reference other network filters, including
references that cause looks. Loops in the XML are prevented but their
detection requires recursive locks.

POSIX states that creation of a mutex with default attributes
is unspecified whether the mutex is recursive or non-recursive.
We specifically want non-recursive (deadlock is desirable in
flushing out coding bugs that used our mutex incorrectly).
* src/util/threads-pthread.c (virMutexInit): Specifically request
non-recursive mutex, rather than relying on unspecified default.
* src/util/threads-pthread.c: pthreads APIs do not set errno, instead
the return value is the positive errno. Set errno based on the return
value in the wrappers
